An auto-repair website: from service list to a repair estimate request

A visitor to an auto-repair site wants to know whether the shop handles their repair, where it is, and how to ask about their car. Build the site around those questions instead of a broad story about cars.

Group services around real jobs

List the repairs you actually provide and say what information helps you give an initial answer. Do not advertise services you do not offer. For each main service, explain it briefly, mention any limits, and give a next step. If the price depends on an inspection, say so instead of posting an unsupported fixed price.

Show examples honestly

Before-and-after photos can illustrate the work when they come from real jobs and you have permission to use them. Describe what was done without promising the same result for every vehicle. Remove personal details that are not approved for publication. Never present another shop’s work as your own.

Plan photo enquiries carefully

A name, phone number, and short description are often enough for first contact. Photo upload is a separate feature: agree allowed file types and sizes, storage, and staff access. A photo should not be mistaken for a final repair estimate. Tell the customer what happens next.

Test the mobile journey

Visitors should be able to find the address, call, and send a request quickly. A map is useful, but keep the address as text in case the external map does not load. Test the form, photos, and confirmation. If you offer appointments, agree how the schedule works; a simple enquiry does not reserve a workshop slot.
